The so-called Ghanaian educated elite and their projection of mediocre intellection. You call yourself a doctor, Sarfo? Please give your article another read-through and enumerate for yourself the many grammatical and logical errors contained therein. Your attempt at cogent casuistry is pathetic, if not downright laughable. And you are a lawyer? Educated at Thurgood Marshall School of Law? That explains a lot. My advice to you:get your tuition back and contact Okoampa for lessons ASAP.

Okoampa's writing is not ideal. I like the guy. A lot. And i like what he has to say. But his writing is too difficult. Here we have an easily accessible article that says a lot of important things. Things that are too important!

D.M. is threatened by this masterpiece of article. perhaps, this article seems to prey on his source of daily income.

You are just a low minded person whose preference is for verbosity. You certainly cannot appreciate sound logical exchange devoid of high irrelevant high grammar. You just attack a sensible person without discussing the issues. Do yourself a favour and go back to your dungeon where you hold sway. Aboa bi ba.

Someone with a humble beginning should naturally exude humility; that is not the case with Sarfo, who is arrogant and disturbingly annoying. I have even read him here on Ghanaweb calling into question the educational attributes of Dr. Okoampa. Why should that be? If you don't know “where I'm coming from,” please exercise patience before I step on you. Now crawl back into the sewer.

I have been an avid user of this website since 2007; so I'm aware of idiots like Sarfo trolling this website and calling into questions others' intellectualism when he is as dumb as they come.

Do you think the majority or even few will read your thesis or even give any credence to it? Be happy as you are indeed a Lawyer with PhD.

Okoe,

This is one of the most important articles ever placed on Ghanaweb. Ghanaians won't want to hear this because they are trapped in ignorance. The objective of the writer, i think, is to change free them. This is not an easy task. But i am happy to see him try. If you agree with him. WHy not help? if you disagree, tell us where you think he is wrong.

You should not add a doctor to your name if you only have a law degree. You should know better than that. I don't even believe you have an LLM. In any event, I agree with our submission and good luck on your practice.

PS: Sarfo probably has a JD. JD is "Juris Doctor". A "JUris Doctor" is a "doctor of laws. It is the same way that an "MD" is a doctor of medicine.

I am in the same line of work.

ANyway, you have only spelled out your disagreement with the title the author gives himself. But this is irrelevant to the content of the article. spell out what in the article you disagree with. Or at least, try to do that, and reveal the full measure of your own ignorance.

You fuckin lot are so fixated on degrees and titles, it makes me sick.
The first 3 lines of your posting are totally unnecessary.

Your choice of topic and the lies in your article portray someone who's crying for undeserved recognition.

Why tell us the obvious? Every Ghanaian knows about these 419 pastors and even our ex president was associated with one.

Just to reinforce a cheesy appellation of being a JD practicing law, you call yourself Dr SAS. I have numerous lawyer friends and non call themselve "Doctor".

Now back to the crap you wrote:

"Faith is the suspension of rationality and wholesale ingestion of dogma, whether logical or illogical"

All that schooling to be a teacher and later a lawyer taught you absolutely nothing.

Even a 2yr old wouldn't say "faith" is the suspension of rationality and wholesale ingestion of dogma. What crap is that. Dr?

Faith has nothing to do with suspending rationalization or strict adherence to dogma.

Suspending rationality doesn't imply faith. In a lab experiment, a rational outcome is often thwarted by other factors. And for a scientist to suspend rationality knowing very well other factors may influence an expected outcome does not imply lack of faith, you twerp!

And that crap about "wholesale ingestion of dogma". Do you really understand what you write?

The other day you were parodying biblical verse as a means to make a political statement. That was crass. You lost all your readers on the point you intended to put across.

I've often stated here that highfalutin titles and qualifications often betray a retarded author.

I am starting to see why we hire people with JDs to defend us in court. the ability to debate well is not as common as i thought.

You're all over the threads defending the author as if you hold the keys to the vault of truth.

Why is it that when someone disagrees with an article, most of you dumb and haughty followers deem it a duty to display your ignorance?

You must be another dummy who vainly calls himself a doctor instead of lawyer, right?

"Just to reinforce a cheesy appellation of being a JD practicing law, you call yourself Dr SAS. I have numerous lawyer friends and non call themselve "Doctor"'

Regarding the above statement, it borders on hubris, even blind stupidity, for a lawyer to refer to himself as a doctor. I have made the same statement to the author in the past; but his arrogance wouldn't permit him to oblige. Perhaps he never thought in a thousand years that he would become a lawyer. That is understandable, though, if you know his background as someone who went to a third-tier secondary school (Koforidua Sec Tech?), a third-tier college (University of Cape Coast) and a fourth-tier law school (Thurgood Marshall School of Law)
And worse, for a professing lawyer to write an article replete with that many logical flaws—there are others, too—is mind-numbing. He can't apply the rules of his proverbial trade, apparently.
In fine, your comment succinctly states what I didn't want to waste my time doing because of the author’s arrogance. Good Job.
KOKONSA 12 years ago

For your info. coming from Koforidua Sec Tech to PHD is no mean feat. You should applaud him for this remarkable effort. Oh so you were in Kwabotwe and Legon and Yale and to what effect. Your idiocy is mind boggling. buffoon.

THE ENEMY HAS GIVEN THE AFRICAN A POISON CALLED CHRISTIANITY. THE UNCRITICAL MINDED AFRICA GULLIBLY DRANK IT.THIS POISON DID NOT PHYSICALLY KILL THE AFRICAN BUT DID KILL HIS MOST IMPORTANT TOOL-THE MIND.WITH THIS DEAD MIND THE AFRICAN IS INCAPABLE OF RATIONAL THOUGHT. THE AFRICAN WORSHIPS HIS ENEMY AND GIVES HIM HIS BED INSIDE HIS INNER CHAMBER. FROM THIS VATAGED POSITION THE ENEMY DEVOURS THE AFRICAN FOR OVER 500 YEARS. TODAY THE AFRICAN IS SO POOR AND UNDERDEVELOPED THAT THE ENEMY DOES NOT WANT HIM IN HIS HOUSE. WITH THE TOOLS OF RELIGION AND EDUCATION THE AFRICAN HAS BEEN REDUCED TO A TOOL THAT WORKS FOR THE INTEREST OF HIS ENEMY BUT WORKS AGAIST HIS OWN PROGRESS. THE WESTERN EDUCATED AFRICAN IS THE MOST POISONED ENTITY ON EARTH. THE MORE WE HAVE THEM THE MORE WE GET UNDERDEVELOPED.

Most of our people have mortgaged their thinking to the so-called men of God. We should reclaim our COMMON SENSE.

This is what intellectuals should do. You have made my day.
